In several recent teacher group chats I’ve heard, “Is there a way to limit individual slides to be restricted to one student for a collaborative slide deck?”  The teachers wanted to avoid the students from messing around with each others slides for a collaborative slide deck. Mind you collaboration works best when students access the same slide deck together at the same time in a synchronous manner.  However to avoid wasting of “Valuable Learning Time” it may not be a bad idea to introduce slide deck collaboration in small digestible steps. This is when the import feature in a slide deck becomes handy as the first step in preparing students for creating collaborative slides.
